Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 RIP Neil Peart (surprised no one had mentioned this yet). Apparently had been fighting brain cancer for the past 3 years. I was fortunate to catch every tour from Moving Pictures and on. Always looked forward to that dimming of the lights and then the ting ting.. ting ting ting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hell of a drummer but most impressed by his writing. Didn’t know much about him or Rush until his death. I did like a lot of their stuff though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPeteTiger 24 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'm glad that he got to go out on his own terms - out of the public eye. Kudos to everyone around him who helped him do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked the fact that many times on tours he would ride his motorcycle to the next show. Also survived some very tough times with losing both his wife and daughter in the same year.
